"Came across this in a video of a bear cub with all four paws burnt severely in a wildfire in California, the vets stitched Tilapia Skin to her paws, and Tilapia skin bandage helps healing of a burn much faster than gauge and cream bandages.

Then came across this article on how Brazil has been using Tilapia skin effectively on burn victims on a trial basis, recently."

Any more scientific evidence

Also, whether this is tried in India? Burn victims treatment is a huge issue in India
